In three football seasons directing the Oceanside High offense, the senior quarterback has tallied a 30-7-1 record and so far has claimed a San Diego Section Division II championship, five playoff victories and two appearances in the finals.

Oh, and the All-Avocado West Leaguer has thrown for 6,160 yards and 49 touchdowns.

Paopao isn’t quite finished, though.

Tonight, the quarterback guides Oceanside (10-1) against regular-season section passing leader Ramsey Romano and the Valhalla Norsemen (9-3) in the Division II semifinals. The winner will play Helix or Poway for the championship.

Advantage, Paopao.

“Anybody at the end of the season at quarterback, if they’re healthy, you have to assume they will be better than they were in Week 1. That’s just the experience factor,” Oceanside coach John Carroll said.

“However, Tofi has as much experience as any quarterback can possibly have at this point because he’s been here before. This is his third year of starting and third consecutive semifinals appearance.”

Last year, Paopao completed only 5 of 16 passes for 54 yards in a 27-7 semifinal victory over La Costa Canyon.

The most important stat, however, came in the turnover column. He made zero mistakes.

This year, with an expanded role and veteran savvy, expect more.

“You approach every game, whether playoffs or not, like it’s the same game. Every game we play is huge,” Paopao said.

“Yeah, if we win, we go to the championship, but if you dwell on that too much, you place a great deal more pressure on your shoulders than you need. No matter if it’s the first game of the season or the last game, it’s the same game.”

Carroll describes Paopao as a “true field general,” who has complete command of the offense. While that can be said for many quarterbacks in the region, the difference between Paopao and other QBs lies in his responsibilities.

Paopao has full autonomy in operating the offense.

“Unlike any quarterback who plays the game at the high school level, Tofi makes presnap reads, redirects coverage, protections, routes and changes plays at the line of scrimmage for us,” Carroll said.

“That’s unique at the college level, so that’s completely unique at the high school level.”

Through 11 games this year — including seven routs in which Carroll rested his starters in the fourth quarter — Paopao has passed for 2,196 yards and 21 touchdowns with just five interceptions.

“Guys look at me as a leader. Since sophomore year, I haven’t really had that role because of the experienced guys on the team then,” Paopao said.

“But now, it falls on my shoulders. That means putting in the work to be better. I would come here at 5 o’clock in the morning, before school starts, to work on my craft, work on my footwork to improve.”

Despite Paopao’s illustrious numbers, high football IQ, ability to direct an entire offense on his own and proven reputation as a winner, collegiate scouts haven’t bombarded Oceanside with much interest.
